Featured Reviews

Subhadip Pakrashi - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.

Nagendra Nekkala. - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable solution that enables users to see all the event logs in one place
The technical support team is very slow. The support persons do not take prompt action. They take too much time to implement new changes. Even if we tell them that we are not able to get critical logs, they take almost three to four days to provide a resolution. The support is not good.
